FROM 2013, WOW! 'LOOKING BACK' SURE GIVES US HOPE FOR OVERCOMING ANYTHING 'TOMORROW'...NIGHT HOLD! AM I RIGHT? THANK, REGIS. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

"There's always the hope of tomorrow", very true, keep the faith, Regis!

So true! I love it! Thanks Regis! Becca

Regis, this poem hits me at home. Most of what you have said here, is what I have been going through, off and on, since 1961. But I do agree that there is always the promise of tomorrow and I don't do good with broken promises, either. Thank you for sharing.

Love & hugs,
Barbie

I like the sense of hope in this piece. What resonated with me the most is the voice of a true romantic. Enjoyed.

Sad poem but BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

There's always hope. inspiring and uplifting. beautiful piece.

This Poem is every bit of real life. Love it :-)

I hear this, I feel this! It is such a long fall from the point of believing and trusting. Rx

I have shared this poem on your FB author page. I was sure I had read it before and commented. But seems I have not.

Anyway...

This is a piece that readers can relate to I am sure. We all have been there at one point or another. Another honest moving piece that has much to think about and draw from. Thank you for sharing yourself and your gift with us.

We always have to believe Regis. Great work

Good stuff.

A bit maudlin, Regis. But, as always with you, an honest expression. By all means, keep opening your gifts. A precious new gem awaits you!

All the best.

Never grow up Regis, it is then you grow old! I find my life is more rewarding with youthful vigor when I am able to make decisions not based on another persons input. This being said, lonliness is all consuming sometimes too, it is then I join hands so to speak, with a friend that understands so I don't feel so alone. Take heart my friend, if I can do it, you can too!
My dad always said, there are more fish in the sea...maybe the next one is a rainbow trout!

Tomorrow's mercies are new...believe in you!

What a perfect way to say this, Regis, "...I hope I will feel like opening it." The sadness of that extends to the vanishing point. ~~ Diana

Tomorrow If It Comes,It
Will Still Be Today,It
Will Be No Different Than Tomorrow,It
Today Is Only Sorrow You,Humanity, It Is
Who Created Today,It Is
Exactly What It Will Be Like Tomorrow...

I Don't Think You'll Get Why Of It...

TRASK...

Touching poetry, Regis. Your spirit is true and has so much to live for!
Blessings,
Christine

You must be having a down day. There's a lot going on out there to make life enjoyable. I'm looking forward to your next poem with an uplifting message.

Ron

Been there, my friend. Don't look for that gift...let it find you...and most assuredly it will...Your words describe the kind of person I am too...very nicely done, Regis...

Anna

How long has it been since your "break up"? Give it time. Pull your confidence out of that box you've been storing it in and don it. You have a different opionion now and that's the way it goes. Go get 'er, tiger!!

Love ya!

Jane

Hope.

Sad...true...some people aren't good in coping up with broken promises..what to do?
Sad
:(

I hope, Regis, ...you'll feel like opening the gift
of today....Tomorrow isn't here, yet, so it doesn't
matter...but today, today... and I know...your soul is beyond
sore....it is painful, but you've produced poem
that will nourish other hearts.......and you're brave!
Yoga might help calm your mind, making it easier
to cope with your pain.
And it is easy to do.......Simple as a Breath....
inhale/exhale.
I take a dose of it , day in day out.
With warm regards Isabella.

Keep thinking & keep growing as you are growing, even if you feel you are not...I am not one to be very optimistic most times so maybe I am not the one to listen to regards your loss of a close lady friend, but there has to be another out there for someone with the compassion and sincerity towards life that you have so many times in the past expressed in your writings...start by giving yourself some of that compassion and work from there...luck...e

You've expressed here, what many others think...offering much to think about. I do agree with Paul in that because of what happens today, I have 'hope' for a better tomorrow. In many ways what you've penned could be hard for someone to write about but you have bravely stepped forward...sharing your thoughts.
Cheers,
Dan

You said it all in your first line, my friend. "There's always the hope of tomorrow." Hang in there.

I have been living in a state of boytox for a few years. This means that I have dismissed having men in my life, for a while, as I recover from a few failed relationships. I don't want to drag all that toxic energy into another relationship and risk ruining what may be the right relationship for me. We all want to feel loved, but I now concentrate on my friendships and let those elevate me through the difficult times. Perhaps, for you, too, it would help to take a break and get back to a clear understanding of who you are when you are not flexing your self for another person. If I am not certain of who I am when I am all by myself, I will never be able to remain true to myself in a relationship where I am interested in pleasing my partner. My best to you, Reg. Each lesson in life is but a stepping stone to our true destiny.
Take care,
Sherry

as i hope you get and do

I've been hurt and let down before... I lost my husband way too soon and too suddenly.. but you know? Never not open that tomorrow.. you don't have to embrace it right away but in time you will look forward to me.. great introspective piece.. Myrna

Regis, it would be easier to go through life with a hardened shell which cocoons us, shelters, and keeps all hurt and treachery from touching us, but there are many people as yourself who, "really believed and trusted." It takes a long time to survive such a misplaced trust, my friend, sadly sometimes we never quite get over it.

Know you've had a let down, so have i with time---but i can still look forward to tomorrow as you must too. Who knows what time will bring to us...Take care and get upbeat, little by little,.....
